I was there yesterday! The best old school diner. Efficient and professional service, great vibe, great value in food and drinks. I still think OP shouldn't have taken a picture furtively. Happy new year everybody!

I'm certain the The China scare had a part in this, me and my GF made a point to continue eating in Chinatown after everyone else fled, but maybe this is not a shattering difference? I would hope these trends reverted back to the norm by now.

Just to be clear, I'm not advocating for less physical safety, separation of vehicular and other traffic etc. BUT, you cannot fortify and armor every block in the city, no city can. Enforcement has to be integral to traffic function, especially when flaunting laws seems to be rampant. Unless you're calling to make every single street in the city one way lined by concrete - good luck. And even on these roads people make turns, don't they?

Any source to why this would override people's shitty behavior? (also, hands off our 4K boy, lol)

​

The way I see it, a total lack of enforcement had led to a free-for-all mentality, and not just on the road. We need new people at the very top - mayor, police commish, totally revamp the police and disband the poisonous police union. That's a good start.

Okay, i'll bite. Maybe you're just not experienced in the art of supporting your national team, especially when its not necessarily a favorite. In any case, we are entering elimination stages, where's no place for a lame finals-or-bust mentality. You, sir, wake up Saturday morning and root for our home boys!

Regardless of where you choose to watch, let's hope the USA pressures the not-so-great dutch defense, and not let them control the game too much. Their offense is too good to allow that.

I installed an indoor TV antenna last week and it's working GREAT! I get both Fox and the Spanish channels (plus all the local channels of course) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0BGN81N2N?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1
